IFS announces preliminary results for 2012

On a preliminary basis, license revenue for the year 2012 amounted to SKr 467 million, an increase with 8

percent over last year. EBIT on a preliminary basis amounted to SKr 195 million (2011: SKr 233 million).

Alastair Sorbie, President and Chief Executive Officer, comments:

“Our expectation of strong license revenue growth in 2012 was only partly met, with growth of 8 percent above last year. The lower outcome than our expectations had a corresponding impact on earnings.”

“In 2012, we continued to invest in sales and marketing, product development including mobile technology and field service management through our acquisition of Metrix. Although these investments have, and will increasingly contribute to license revenue growth, they have impacted earnings in the shorter term.”

“Towards the end of the year, activity levels in consulting improved, however not enough to make up for ground lost earlier in the year.”
